Since Mike Dinsdale joined DocuSign as CFO in 2010, the firm specializing in digital signature technologies has had two rounds of investment funding, including $47.5 million in a round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Other DocuSign investors include Scale Venture Partners, Google Ventures, Comcast, SAP, and Salesforce.com.

The firm’s expanded financing signaled to the outside world that DocuSign was entering a period of new growth, according to Dinsdale, who says the firm has in the last three years experienced an inflection point triggered by a rapid escalation in the adoption of mobile computing devices

“We are now more than doubling the number of transactions that we process every year through mobile devices,” explains Dinsdale, who says that anyone doubting the veracity of the mobile movement needs only to consider that Apple’s iPad tablet achieved a 10 percent penetration of the U.S. population in under 2 years.
